New Telephone-Telegraph.

A new telegraph instrument has been invented by means of which any telegraph operator may send messages In the Morse code over an ordinary telephone. This new instrument can be attached to any telephone and the connection between it is purely mechanical. It does not require any additional electric cl milts. TheTClephone key ha* a pivot at the end. It produces a sharp distinct sound and Is connected with the metal case of the telephone fly two clamps. It Is claimed that Morse signals sent by this instrument carry longer distances than the human voice over long distance telephones, so the telephone-telegraph can be of great value in both supplementary and in verifying telephonic conversation. —
